ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING INFORMATION /


           North Carolina law further provides that if the shareholders fail to elect the full authorized number of directors, a board of
           directors may fill the vacancy by electing a successor. Accordingly, Martin Marietta’s Articles of Incorporation provide that
           if a nominee is not elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that nominee’s election, the Board of
           Directors may decrease the number of Directors, fill any vacancy or take other appropriate action.

           The ratification of the selection of independent auditors, the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named
           executive officers, and any other proposal presented at the meeting, will be approved if more votes are cast by proxy or in
           person in favor of the proposal than are cast against it. With respect to the vote on the frequency of future advisory votes
           on executive compensation the period receiving the greatest number of votes (every 1 year, every 2 years or every 3 years)
           will be considered the preference selected by the shareholders.

           Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted “for” or “against” any of these proposals.

           What is required to attend the meeting?
           Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to our shareholders as of the record date of March 6, 2023 and their
           proxies. If you are a shareholder and plan to attend the Annual Meeting and your shares are held in street name (for
           example, if your shares are held through an account maintained by a bank or securities broker), you must present evidence
           of your stock ownership as of March 6, 2023 in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. You can obtain this evidence
           from your bank or brokerage firm. If your shares are held in street name as of March 6, 2023 and you intend to vote your
           shares at the Annual Meeting, you must also request a legal proxy appointment from your bank, broker or other nominee
           and present that proxy appointment at the Annual Meeting’s registration desk. Whether you are a registered shareholder,
           your shares are held in street name, or you are a duly authorized proxy for a shareholder, a government-issued
           identification will be required to obtain admittance to the Annual Meeting.

           We speak to almost all of our largest shareholders each year and we rarely have any shareholders in attendance at our
           shareholders’ meetings. In addition, the proposals to be considered at the 2023 Annual Meeting are routine. For these
           reasons, we currently intend to hold the Annual Meeting in person. In the event that alternative arrangements for the Annual
           Meeting are required, we intend to promptly advise our shareholders. Please monitor our website, https://
           ir.martinmarietta.com/events-presentations, for updated information if you are planning to attend the Annual Meeting. To
           assist with logistical planning for the Annual Meeting, we request that shareholders planning on attending the Annual
           Meeting notify us by email at corporatesecretary@martinmarietta.com. Providing such notice is not required for attendance at
           the Annual Meeting and is requested solely to assist in our planning.

           We will announce preliminary voting results at the conclusion of the meeting and publish final results in a Current Report
           on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.
